As a photographer specializing in proposals and capturing couples’ stories, I’ve always believed that your images are yours first. I’m deeply honoured to be invited to document such a significant and intimate moment in your relationship, and I want you to feel 100% comfortable every step of the way – including when it comes to privacy.
In today’s world, I understand that privacy is increasingly important. Perhaps you want to keep the surprise under wraps until you’ve told everyone personally, maybe one or both of you have public-facing careers or sensitive roles, or you simply prefer to keep this incredibly personal event more private online. Whatever your reason, I’m here to respect it.
How I Handle Privacy
All of my sessions include a standard model release, which gives me permission to share your images on my website, social media, and other marketing materials. Sharing this work is how I grow my business and how other couples on the cusp of engagement find me. I’m so grateful when couples trust me enough to showcase their unique story – it truly means the world.
That said, your privacy always comes first, and I offer a few options so you can choose what’s right for you:
- Zero Share Policy – If you prefer that your images are kept entirely private, I’m more than happy to honour that. Your online gallery will be secured with a password, and none of your images will be posted anywhere publicly.
- Selective Sharing – Some couples are comfortable sharing some aspects of their proposal but not everything. Maybe you’d like to wait until after you’ve announced the engagement yourselves before any photos go public? Or perhaps you’re okay with me sharing detail shots (like the ring, hands clasped) or wider shots where faces aren’t the main focus, but prefer closer portraits remain private. We can absolutely tailor the sharing plan to your comfort level.
- Full Sharing with Flexibility If you’re comfortable with me sharing your session publicly after the big news is out, thank you! I’ll always use your images with care and respect. And if at any time you change your mind, just let me know – I’ll take them down right away, no questions asked.
There’s no extra cost for privacy. Whatever level of sharing you choose, it’s all about what makes you feel best.
A Quick Note About AI
I never share your personal images for AI training, ever. However, I do use Adobe software to edit, and Adobe may anonymously source data from edited images as part of its general service. If you ever want more details on this, feel free to reach out – I’m happy to chat through it.
I also use Imagen to help with with culling and editing process, making it more efficient so I can deliver your beautiful photos faster. Imagen does not sell or distribute your photos to anyone. The work I send to Imagen is only used to make its AI learn my editing style better.
If you have any concerns about my use of AI, please get in touch.
Thank You for Your Trust
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate being able to share my work. Every image I post helps other couples find me, and helps me keep doing what I love – capturing these incredible, once-in-a-lifetime moments. But more importantly, I’m here to serve you and capture your unique love story, in whatever way feels right.
Thank you for letting me be part of your story, whether it stays just between us or helps inspire others. 💛
If you have any questions about privacy or anything else, I’m always just an email away.
